Welcome to The Robin's Nest/Helmar Blog Hop!!

A benefit of being a crafter is that you can create personalized gifts for those you care about.

With the holidays around the corner, there always seems to be a crunch in your cash flow, right?

So, I found an inexpensive cuff bracelet at the craft store...just waiting to be embellished!

Silver, sleek...and perfect for my 12 year old DD's Christmas gift!

(Hey, if I don't keep it hidden from her, she is going to claim it as her own anyways!!)

To adhere the Dew Drops, I used Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

It does dry quickly...but there is wiggle room to play with the placement if you add the adhesive to small areas at a time. For this project, I started in the middle of the cuff and worked my way towards the outsides.

Model: Little brother.

Let's just hope he can keep the secret from his big sis!
